Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

AustraliaThe non ac dorms got a little warm some nights but really not an issue for the price.
Great location walking distance to everything and super friendly staff. Had more of a homestay/coliving vibe which I much preferred over some of the more hectic party hostels I stayed at in the area. Nice small social communal area to hang out or work. Bonus having a kitchen and a super friendly puppy Mango. I extended my stay too!

United KingdomThere isn’t anything I don’t like about the property, I think the wifi/service was abit poor but other then that no complaints at all. Highly recommend
Lovely home, friendly staff & amazing little puppy! Rooms were clean + the other guests were also very friendly, a good atmosphere all around. The kitchen is spacious & the location is very close to both beaches. Can’t fault much, expanded my stay another night & would definitely come back . (PS you will get attached to the puppy🥹)

IrelandA very nice hostel in a great location, quick walk to both Dikwella and Hiriketiya beach with some nice and reasonable restaurants nearby too. The dorm was very clean with comfortable beds and enough fans to stay cool at night and lockers to keep your valuables. A cozy chill area outside to relax and chat to others and play with the very cute puppy 😊 The host is lovely and there is an overall nice vibe in the hostel. Would recommend it to anyone to stay there!

Nice place to hang out. Location was perfect for us - close to Dikwella beach and shops and also close to Hiri so a great choice of restaurants and places to go. Sofa's and communal area inside and out and the dogs were nice to have around Double room had aircon, mozzie net, comfortable bed. Communal kitchen can be used. No hot water shower but didn't really need one tbh.

SwedenI had a great stay at Coco Mango Hostel. Very clean rooms (stayed in the dorm) really lovely and welcoming hosts (& volunteers) and great location. It's possible to even use the kitchen, do laundry (600rp/kg) or just chill in the common area. Would definitely recommend that place if you're looking for a cozy and family like place to stay.

The German guy who runs the property is super friendly and the energy with other like minded travelers is amazing! Plus, good infrastructure and great location. I totally recommend this hostel!

United KingdomMy only suggestion would be to make some yoga mats available for people to make the most of the nice little garden out front :)
Cosy little hostel in a nice peaceful spot, a short walk to hiriketiya beach one way and some very reasonably priced local restraunts the other way to the main road through Dickwella (breakfast, rice and curry is half the price than Hiri!). Great place for backpackers! New hosts of the hostel were lovely, warm and welcoming people and of course the puppies are absolutley adorable.

Walking distance to both beaches and not far off main road for arriving and leaving with backpack. Each bed had a mosquito net and locker. Accommodation was very clean and even arrived to a coconut drink. Excellent value.

FranceThis is the best place to stay in Hiriketiya according to me. It's perfectly located, 5min walk to Hiri beach, 5 min walk to Dickwela beach. The house is new, very clean and well maintain. The owners are really kind and helpfull for any information you need. Matress are so comfortable.. that make the difference with other placer. There is a kitchen as well.. I think it's the best value arround. And the area is peacefull. It feels like home when I stay there, I went twice and extended many days each time. Thank you
